Itโs in the Australian tradition of mateship and our basic equality no matter your station in life that since the early years of the nation that we shorten names to reflect those endearing qualities.
Itโs something of a privilege and respect that indicates familiarity, relatability, reliability and likeability.
Volunteer fire fighter and lifesaver Abbott becomes Abbo. Knockabout, goofy suburban dad Morrison, becomes ScoMo.
And because, again in the great Australian tradition, we give people a fair go, Albanese becomes Albo.

The psychological term โImposter syndromeโ was invented for people like you and moments like this. Youโre full of doubt and scared of being exposed for the fraud that you are.
You are the quintessential post turtle. A turtle stuck on a fence post on a country road in the middle of nowhere, and no one, including yourself understands how you got there.
You donโt belong. Youโve been exposed. Youโre out of place, out of your depth and out of time.
